So everyone knows that I’m a huge sucker for teen dramas, I finally made peace with this fact “yes, I watch horrible TV shows, and I know it.” I also dislike watching the series if the season is not over. I don’t know who has the patience to wait a week to find out more ‘juicy’ details! So I play them in the background while working and it’s one episode after another. Once the season is done, I can forget about the show altogether and move on to better things, ahem, like another teen drama! This current show will drive me insane, because I was too careless to check if it’s still airing before I started to watch… Pretty Little Liars… episode 11, eleven more to go, 11 more weeks to wait. That is so not cool! Looking back, the improvement of teen dramas is incredible over the past ten years. Plots are not as stretched out and sappy, it’s all action now, vampires, detectives, that sort of thing. Although the consumerism part of todays television makes me worry. It’s all about fashion, brand names and the latest trends, no one can possibly keep up with this in real life. But the show does make for good eye candy.
This brings me to my music discovery of the week: The Pierces – Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge. They have a theme song for Pretty Little Liars, and it is so catchy I just had to check out the rest of the album. It is genius! The combination of dark, creepy, self-indulgent lyrics with quirky melodies is perfect. There is somewhat of a story line you can follow from one song to the next, and paint your own picture in-between. Amazing addition to my ‘creepy’ song collection.
